CGI::SecureState
CGI::SecureState was written to resemble CGI::Persistent as closely as
possible. To install CGI::SecureState, all you should have to do is the
standard
% perl Makefile.PL
% make
% make test
and everything should work.
This assumes that you have the following:
Long file names (at least 27 chars): needed to ensure remote ticket
authenticity.
Crypt::Blowfish: it couldn't be called "Secure" without. At some point in
the future (as better algorithms become available), this
requirement may be changed. Tested with version 2.06.
Digest::SHA1: for super-strong (160 bit) hashing of data. It is used in
key generation and filename generation. Tested with version 1.03.
CGI: it couldn't be called "CGI" without. Should not be a problem as it
comes standard with Perl 5.004 and above. Tested with version
2.56.
Perl: Hmmm. Tested with v5.6.0. This module has NOT been tested with
5.005 or below. Use at your own risk. There may be several bugs
induced by lower versions of Perl, several of which may
include: failure to compile, failure to run, or the mysterious
absence of your favorite pair of lemming slippers. The author is
exempt from wrongdoing and liability in case you decide to use
CGI::SecureState with a Perl less than 5.6.0.
